Fundraising
Fundraising is just one way that parents and communities may choose to support their schools. Money raised is used during that school year so the people helping raise the money can see the benefits.
In 2022-2023 our focus for fundraising is to improve technology.
There has been a gap in fundraising between 2018-2022 due to Covid-19 protocols.
For the 2018-19 school year, money raised by the school council was put toward the following:
Student field trip subsidy ($7260)
Chromebooks and iPads ($13500)
Club, Team and Event support ($1840)
Healthy Snack Program support ($1500)
Grade 6 and SK Celebrations ($1000)
Classroom Purchases ($1900)
Crash Rhythm ($1250)
Ukuleles ($550)
